Me and my dad just finished replacing old aluminium cables with new copper in the basement of my mom's office. The old 14/3 aluminium cable fed two outlets. Before : Panel > 14/3 aluminium cable > outlet > 14/3 aluminium cable > second outlet > 14/2 copper cable > unknown The black wire fed the two outlets and the red wire fed something else (we don't know what as we can't follow the cable). We replaced the two aluminium cables. Now : Panel > 14/2 copper cable > outlet > 14/2 copper cable > second outlet > 14/2 copper cable > unknown We replaced the two circuits with a single one that powers everything. We also put new Decora outlets to make it look nice. We also added two concrete screws to secure the wood piece under the right outlet to the wall. It was barely attached from the top.
